Charities can do none of this without their board members. These members have the ultimate responsibility for running the charity, its property, finances and the employment of its staff and volunteers. Being a board member can be incredibly hard work and is normally unpaid, but it can also be immensely rewarding.

Remember that you are not on your own. We hope this guide will provide you with some helpful information, but if you need more help our ACNC staff are committed to helping to support you and your charity in its important work.
